This is a very well-priced watch and an interesting piece of our history. Not only would this be a good collector’s piece but it would also be wonderful to use every day. It would undoubtedly intrigue and make a great conversation piece, especially with young children.
History: “John Lilley & Co.” was a respected British maker and retailer of nautical and scientific instruments. The business was founded in London in 1812 by John Lilley, an optician and instrument maker who supplied compasses, sextants, chronometers, telescopes, and marine equipment to the Royal Navy and merchant shipping.
By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the firm traded as John Lilley & Son, later becoming John Lilley & Gillie after a merger in 1913. The company operated from London and North Shields and earned a strong reputation as “Makers to the Admiralty.”
